Episode 29

How to be an anti-racist leader

We chat to Martha Awojobi, CEO of JMB Consulting and founder of #BAMEOnline

Three years on from #CharitySoWhite and two years since the murder of George Floyd inclusion is a matter on many leaders’ minds. So how can you lead this work in the right way, and create the change you want to see in your organisation?

Martha Awojobi, CEO of JMB Consulting and founder of #BameOnline ( the fundraising conference that aims for an end to racism in fundraising and philanthropy) has the answers to these questions. Martha has a ton of wisdom to share about how leaders can improve their racial literacy, set ambitions for change and keep going, when the going gets tough. All of this involves leaders asking big, existential questions about what the future holds for them and their organisations.

Zoe and Paul also discuss the latest tech news, including new research on working from home and productivity.
